Re: XPM images

[Richard Stallman]

    * The "splash.xpm" image that is displayed with the startup-message,
      is a little bigger. While the Lisp-conversion is IMO fast enough for
      small images like icons, it would slow down the startup notably to
      use it on splash.xpm.

We have a file splash.pbm as well.  I presume that Emacs will use that
rather than use your code, right?  So the slowdown is only hypothetical,
right?
